Retained Authority
Pool Consulting & Expert Witness Services
Aquatic systems involve complex dynamics of structural engineering, mechanical filtration, hydraulics, and volatile chemistry. Construction failures or maintenance oversights can rapidly scale into million-dollar liabilities.
Randy Beard provides peerless forensic investigations, code interpretations, and clear, credible testimony for law firms, developers, insurers, and property owners.
"In mediation or cross-examination, success depends on data-driven clarity. We isolate the structural failure or safety non-compliance with absolute forensic accuracy."
Expert Witness Testimony
Deposition and trial testimony that translates technical engineering, pool design, and plumbing failures into plain, persuasive arguments for both plaintiff and defense counsel.
Construction-Defect Auditing
Comprehensive site inspections of structural concrete, plumbing lines, waterproofing membranes, electrical grounding/bonding, and finish failures (plaster/pebble delamination).
Code & Safety Compliance
Thorough investigations into barrier compliance, gate mechanisms, suction outlet fitting assemblies (VGB Act), depth markings, and general safety protocols to identify operational negligence.
Based on the chemical analysis of your pool (15,000 gal): pH is at 8.0, total alkalinity is 140 ppm. Add 1.5 pints of muriatic acid to lower pH to 7.4.
